Chess is one of the oldest games in the world and is believed to have originated in northern India around the 6th century. The earliest written records of chess date back to the 7th century, although the original form of the game was quite different from what we know today.

During the Middle Ages, chess spread throughout the Islamic world and became a popular game in Europe through Spain. By the 15th century, the game had evolved into a form closer to what we know today, with the emergence of modern pieces and the creation of new rules.

Since then, chess has been considered an intellectual game and a mental sport, and has been played by people of all ages and cultures all over the world. Chess is a game that requires skills such as strategy, long-term planning and concentration, so it is considered by many as a valuable tool for mental development.

In short, chess is an ancient and fascinating game that has evolved over the centuries and remains popular around the world today.
